The Week or Prayer.

The interest in the services Of this
week, rs conducted in the Presbyterian
Church, is considerable Families and
Schools" furnished a topic for prayer
and exhortation last night.
The Earl of Shaftesbury, speaking Of
England, which words will apply to our
own country, said Until the fathers
and mothers are better men and women,
our schools can accomplish comparative

tiquity, that he corrected the parent for
the sins of his child. Proper home train
ing has always been regarded as very
important element in the education of
the child
The inspired writers call upon parents
TO train their children, show the beauties
of such training and teach that when ii

benefits for them. We arc to pray that
the young may be early led TO Christ, and
kept from the evil that is in the world
We are to pray also for schools and col
lcges. There are four hundred colleges
in this country, with not less that 40, 600
students. The majority of these young
men are TO have great influence in the
various professions. They need TO be

in other years, great revivals of religion
have occurred in these colleges. About
one fourth of those now in the ministry,
IL is supposed, were converted in college.
Then there arc not less than ten million
in our public schools who are taught by
about 100000 teachers. These need the
prayers of Gods people.
We are TO pray, too, for Sabbath Schools.

day schools. The Sunday School work,
as now known, started about a hundred
years ago, and has grown in efficiency until
the present time. Thomas Jefferson said
of the founder of these schools "Raikes
has done more for our own country than
the present generation will acknowledge.
Many one, like distinguished Senator
from Georgia, might say that his first
taste for reading was acquired in the
Sunday School, when he was a boy
The Sunday School helps the Christian
parent in the training of his children 1t
teaches the same truths that are taught
in Christian homes. 1t impresses those
truths upon the heart In thousands of
cases il imparts truth that would not
otherwise be received. Thousands have
received no other instruction than that
obtained in the Sabbath School. How
important that the truth impaired should
be properly taught, and that the minds of
scholars might be ready and eager to re-
ceive it, To this end the church needs
to pray that the Holy Spirit might fit the
teacher to impart, and the scholar to re
ceive instruction. The subject for to-
night will be Prayer for Missions

Virginia City Enterprise: 1t may
sound like a wild declaration, but Me-
vada III bound to be one of the most pro-
dactive states In b union. 1t possesses
advantages in the composition OF ats soil
that are far superior to that of the
great Mississippi valley, advantages that
will always exlst and become more notic-
able as time rolls by. lt appears re-
markaDle to the newcomer that the sp-
pareDtly desert waste will yield the
quality u quantity of vegetable pro-
u cts that,are raised in this state. Here
they look for the rich black loan com.
mon in the middle states, and the
absence Of thIr particular soil impresses
them with the idea that or soil lacks
richness. Nevada soil is not Of vege-
table creation exclusively, but to the
contrary is produced by the decomposi-
ton OF rock formation, pregnant with
mineral aud of that character that Civ >
strength to the soil that is perpetual.
The oxidation OF mineral is continual,
hence the soil 10 constantly RECEIVING
benefits through natural sources that
ipvigorates it.
our natlVe grasses are stronger n
more nutritious than those of the mid
die AMI western states, and why? Be-
cause the latter are almost purely the
production of vegetable soil, while the
grasses in Nevada absorb from the soil
the mineral properties that make them
nutritious and strong. Our cattle, even
those that are fattened upon the range,
make fatter and sweeter beef than those
of the middle aud western states, simply
because they obtain in the grasses min.
eral properties that are health giving
and fat producing. This is why Neva.
oh beef ls sought after. Our soil pos
sesses all the medicinal qualities essentia
to the production of grain and grasses O
every description and also OF health Civ
ing vegetables. The richness and purity
of our cereals, beef and vegetables is The
secret OF the general good health OF oul
popnlace, coupled with an invigorating
glorious climate. The time is not fal
distant when every sage brush fat in thil
state that can be wstered by natural OF
artificial mean will be covered with
waving gram. Nevada is an agricul
tural state, one that will play her part,
and nobiy, too, in the history of Ameri-
can agriculture.

HindOO Mode of Eteaping Grain.

The Milling World tells its read ere how the Hindoo reaps with an iron bla3e, six inches long, an inch wide, and curved like sickle, costing him four cents. He squats on his heels, cuts a handful, lays it down, and without rising off his heels waddles forward and cuts another. In twelve days he cuts an acre, and receives five cents day, boarding himself. When he wants to thrash his grain. he drives stake in the ground, spreads his grain around it, ties a rope to his bulls horns and then to the stake, and drives them around and around till the straw is tramped very fine into what they call "bhoosa." This is fed to the cat tie after the wheat is separated. Englishmen have introduced thrashing machines, but the Hin doos will have none of them. They think their cattle would not eat the straw because it breaks it instead of trapping it fiat. They clean their wheat by holding it up in the wind in scoop made of reeds, or, if the wind is not blowing. two Hindoos make wind by waving a blanket, while third dribbles the grain from the scoop.

How to Start a Balky Horse.

The Farmers Irish) Gazette gives the following different ways of treating balky horses, which are recommended for trial:
 First, pat the horse on the neck, examine him carefully, first one side, then the other; if you can get him handful of grass, give it to him, and speak encouragingly to him. Then jump into the wagon, and give the word go, and he will generally obey. Second, taking the horse out of the shafts, and turning him around in a circle un- til he is giddy, will generally start him. Third, another way to cure balky horse is, place your hand over his nose and shut off his wind until he wants to go. Fourth, then, again, take a couple of turns of stout twine around his fore legs, just below the the knee, tight enough for the horse to feel 1t; tie in bow knot. At the first click he will probably go dancing off. After going a short distance you can get out and remove the string, to prevent injury to the tendons. Fifth, again, you can try the fol- lowing: Take the tail of the horse between the hind legs, and tie it by a cord to the saddle girth. Sixth, the last remedy I know, is as follows: Tie a string around the horses ear, close to the head. This will divert his attention, and start him.
